## **2024 Report for the Parochial Church Council of Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar with St Mary, Walton le Wolds.** 

## **Aim and Purposes** 

Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar with St Mary, Walton le Wolds Parochial Church Council (PCC) has the responsibility of cooperating with the Rector, The Reverend Clive Watts, and the Associate Priest, The Reverend Fiona Cotton-Betteridge, in promoting in the ecclesiastical parish, the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community at Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar with St Mary, Walton le Wolds. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish.  Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament. 

When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through: 

- Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. 

- Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish. 

- Missionary and outreach work. 

Holy Trinity Barrow-upon-Soar and St Mary, Walton le Wolds are part of The Benefice of Barrow-upon-Soar with Walton le Wolds, Wymeswold and Prestwold with Hoton and share a common aim “to be welcoming churches to everyone, where the love of God is encountered through our worship and our life together as churches in our communities, and where lasting friendships are formed and nurtured.” Our Vision Statement is “To 

1 



have presence and impact in our local communities. We will grow our churches with effective pastoral leadership and collaborative ministry founded on practical spirituality that will reach people of every background and age group.” 

To facilitate this work it is important that we maintain the fabric of the Churches of Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar with St Mary, Walton le Wolds. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

1[st] January 2024 saw the three parishes of the ‘Barrow and Wolds Group’ become a single United Benefice, to be known as “The Benefice of Barrow-upon-Soar with Walton le Wolds, Wymeswold and Prestwold with Hoton.” The Reverend Clive Watts was appointed as Rector of the new benefice alongside The Reverend Fiona CottonBetteridge as Associate Priest. The Reverend Bob Edge continues as Curate in the new benefice. 

The formation of the new Benefice was celebrated at the Annual Thanksgiving Service, presided over by The Venerable Claire Wood, Archdeacon of Loughborough. The Reverend Clive Watts and The Reverend Fiona Cotton-Betteridge were licensed to their new roles by Ven Claire Wood, acting on behalf of the Bishop of Leicester. All ministries within the benefice were celebrated, with Locally Authorised Ministers renewing their commitment to their respective ministries. This was followed by a highly successful community lunch provided by the Ministry Team. 

Mrs Collette Webster-Jones joined the benefice team as Benefice Administrator in January 2024, taking up this role alongside her existing role as Weddings Administrator. 

Our Ministry Team was further enhanced as Mr Jason ‘Jay’ Jones was licensed as Associate Pioneer Minister for the benefice on 18[th] May 2024. with particular focus for his ministry in Barrow-upon-Soar. The Reverend Bob Edge, Curate in the benefice was ordained Priest at Leicester Cathedral on 29[th] June 2024, celebrating the Eucharist for the first time the following morning at a joint service held at Holy Trinity, Barrow-uponSoar. Our ministry team continues to be enhanced with the ministry of three retired priests alongside the Rector, Associate Priest and Curate and four Associate (Reader) Ministers. 

Our commitment to becoming recognised as ‘Eco Churches’ has continued across the benefice. We were therefore delighted when Holy Trinity Church, Barrow-upon-Soar became the first of our churches to achieve the Bronze Eco Church Award from A Rocha UK. A significant contribution to this process was the introduction of swift nesting boxes and a swift call sounder being introduced in the bell tower at Holy Trinity Church in conjunction with the RSPB and Charnwood Borough Council. Along with St Mary, Wymeswold there are now two of our churches providing nesting sites for swifts. Both Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar and St Mary, Wymeswold received official recognition as Fairtrade Churches.

A number of significant services and events took place during the year. Including a Confirmation Service presided over by The Right Reverend Saju Muthalaly, Bishop of Loughborough with six candidates from the benefice being confirmed that evening. Services were held to mark the 80[th] Anniversary of D Day, our Patronal festivals, and the seasons of the church year. The benefice continued to mark significant numbers of Occasional Offices, with, in particular, many marriages taking place at St Andrew’s, Prestwold. St Mary, Walton le Wolds continued to enjoy a pattern of Festival Church events and services. 

Community engagement remained a priority, with a number of events continuing to prove popular with the local community. These included plant sales and afternoon teas at Prestwold, ‘Strawberry Tea’ and ‘Harvest Home’ events at Walton, the annual ‘Christmas Tree Festival’ and the ‘Trinity Proms Concert’ and ‘Trinity Fest’ music and arts fair in October at Barrow and a number of concerts and heritage events along with the ‘Easter Café’, ‘Harvest Lunch’ and ‘Victorian Christmas’ at Wymeswold. 

The Barrow and Wolds Group website, our group wide Social Media platforms on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter) and our dedicated You Tube Channel continue to be the significant means of communication offering up to date information and engagement with our churches. 

The four churches of the Benefice of Barrow-upon-Soar with Walton le Wolds, Wymeswold and Prestwold with Hoton have continued to work closely together planning a range of shared events and services in conjunction with each other. This has been particularly relevant as we have discerned our future partnership with other parishes in the local area as part of the Leicester Diocese Shaped by God Together initiative and the process of Minster Community formation (further details elsewhere in this report). 

This report is enhanced by the video presentation “The Barrow and Wolds Group - Year in Review 2024” which can be viewed on our website www.barrowandwoldsgroup.com and on our You Tube Channel “Barrow and Wolds Group”. 

## **Worship and Prayer** 

The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Regular services at Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar each month include Common Worship Holy Communion, Intergenerational Morning Praise, and a Healing Service. A midweek Book of Common Prayer service alternating between Holy Communion and Morning Prayer is also provided.

Special services were held to mark the 80[th] Anniversary of D Day. We continue to worship together on 5[th] Sundays of the month as a group of churches. 

During Lent at St Mary, Wymeswold, weekly services of Compline with Reflections on the Book of Common Prayer Collects were introduced with retiring collections supporting the Bishop’s Lent Appeal for BACA. A shared Palm Sunday Service took place with a Palm Procession from the Wymeswold Methodist Chapel to St Mary, Wymeswold. 

More informal worship for young people is offered with a ‘Little Angels’ pram service held at Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar.

## **Deanery Synod**

4 



forum to voice the challenges and opportunities that are being perceived.  As always, a Diocesan Synod Report was given at each meeting, plus items of Deanery news, including clergy appointments, licensing and departures. 

In June 2024 at St James’s Oaks-in-Charnwood The Reverend Elizabeth York, Lead chaplain at Loughborough University, gave a presentation on the ministry of chaplaincy and the ways in which it supports the university community at Loughborough. 

A the October 2024 meeting at Christ Church Mountsorrel, Matt Long,  Youth Engagement & Intergenerational Communities Enabler for the Diocese of Leicester, gave a presentation on the work of the Bishop’s Children & Youth Council to engage and listen to younger people across our diocese and to develop intergenerational worshipping communities. 

The guest speaker at the February 2025 meeting at St Edward’s Castle Donington was Kat Marjoribanks, Curate at Emmanuel Church in Loughborough, who gave a presentation about the trip to Tanzania undertaken by a small group from Emmanuel last August. While there, the group were able to visit church plants, community churches, and local schools in the Anglican Diocese of Mount Kilimanjaro (DMK) and Kiteto, with which the Diocese of Leicester has been twinned since 1982. 

The next two meetings of Deanery Synod will be held on Thursday 19th June 2025 at St Peter & St Paul, Hathern and on Tuesday 7th October 2025 at St Bartholomew’s, Quorn. All are welcome but only those who are elected members may vote. Lifts to the different venues are shared where possible.

The ministry of pastoral care is coordinated across the Benefice of Barrow-upon-Soar with Walton le Wolds, Wymeswold and Prestwold with Hoton by The Reverend Fiona Cotton-Betteridge, who leads a group wide Pastoral Care Team. Mrs Beverley Lott is the Pastoral Care Coordinator for Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar and Mrs Pam Knowles is the Pastoral Care Coordinator for St Mary, Walton le Wolds. In addition to the clergy and associate ministers, seven members of the congregations are Locally Authorised as Pastoral Care Workers. The ministry team and volunteers have continued to visit or contact members of the congregation, particularly those members of our parish who are unable to attend church due to sickness or age. Communion in hospital or at home is provided by members of the ministry team where appropriate.

## **Mission and Evangelism** 

The PCC remains committed to reaching out in mission and evangelism to the local community. 

Little Angels continues to offer fellowship, fun and a ‘pram service’ for toddlers and parents, attracting members from across all three parishes. 

The Barrow and Wolds Group website continues to be developed offering up to date information along with our group wide Social Media platforms on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and our dedicated You Tube Channel. 

A very successful Christmas Tree Festival was held at Barrow in December with visitors from across our group of churches and participation from many community groups. Our ‘Lessons and Carols’, ‘Crib’ and ‘Christingle’ services were well received by members of the church congregations and the wider community as were our Remembrance Day services across all four churches. A number of ‘special’ services and community events at St Mary, Walton have contributed to the success of this church as a ‘Festival Church’. 

St Mary, Wymeswold embarked on a significant Heritage Project as part of major refurbishment works to the church roof with a National Lottery Heritage Fund Project, launched at a special event in October 2024, further events included a Heritage Open Day in September and a Victorian mince Pie Morning in December. 

Holy Trinity continues to provide a very popular ‘Community Café’ each Saturday morning, with many regular attendees, and members of the community from across the benefice visiting. The Community Café has further become the venue for our baptism and confirmation preparation sessions and some smaller or informal church meetings. 

A particular highlight of our missional activity for 2024 was, once again, the fourth Raise a Ribbon event held for Mothering Sunday, with the names of mothers and significant women in our lives written on large ribbons flying from the tower flagpole. This caught the imagination of many local residents who valued our prayers for their loved ones past and present. 

The Barrow and Wolds Group has enjoyed a number of social events across our group of churches, including a fish and chip supper, a number of harvest meals and a “harvest home” party, regular coffee mornings and afternoon teas, wildflower walks, and an Easter café. The Wymeswold Church Fund Appeal holds social events, raising funds for the fabric of the church building at St Mary Wymeswold. 

Our commitment to becoming recognised as ‘Eco Churches’ has continued across the benefice. We were therefore delighted when Holy Trinity Church, Barrow-upon-Soar became the first of our churches to achieve the Bronze Eco Church Award from A Rocha 

6 



UK. Both Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar and St Mary, Wymeswold received official recognition as Fairtrade Churches. 

Helping those in need is a demonstration of our faith and missional work, we continue to support a number of charities, local, national and international. St Andrew, Prestwold continues to support Bishop Christopher’s appeal for medical clinics in Malawi. Churches Together in Barrow (and the wider area) has designated BACA as its charitable recipients for 2024, supporting refugee children without families in the UK. This was further supported by St Mary, Wymeswold with donations from the Lent Compline with Reflection services. Many boxes of Christmas gifts were provided for Samaritan’s Purse along with Christmas Card sales for the Children’s Society and a collection for Christian Aid Week. Harvest collections of non-perishable produce were distributed to foodbanks at Project 5,000 and The Carpenters Arms along with regular collections of food donations. 

Two magazines are distributed monthly across the group of churches (Parish Magazine for Barrow and Walton and The Christian Link for the Wolds villages). 

## **Schools** 

Our Rector, The Reverend Clive Watts, maintains regular contact with three Primary Schools and one Secondary School within our group of parishes. 

Weekly Collective Worship is conducted in Hall Orchard Church of England Primary School by The Reverend Clive Watts, with contributions from the Minister of Barrow Baptist Church. The Rector meets regularly with the Head Teacher and lead teacher for Religious Education and Collective Worship. There are three Foundation Governors at Hall Orchard School, The Reverend Clive Watts, Mrs Vickie Bowman and Mrs Jenny Boldrin. 

Hall Orchard have visited Holy Trinity Church on numerous occasions throughout the year, including Nativity and Carol Services, an Easter Service, and the end school year Leavers Service. Class and year groups have attended for sessions including Baptism, Easter and a Church Treasure Hunt.  In addition, Hall Orchard School have used the church as the venue for some of their regular productions and concerts. Children from the school entered the Christmas Drawing Competition, with the winner’s artwork featuring on the Barrow and Wolds Group Christmas Card, and the covers of the various Christmas Orders of Service. 

## **Ecumenical Relationships** 

There is a Churches Together group based in Barrow-upon-Soar with representation from the Anglican, Baptist, Methodist and Roman Catholic churches. The ministry teams and members of the churches meet together on the first Monday of each month for Ecumenical Prayers. The ministers of the various denominations continue to meet 

7 



regularly and to pray together. Ecumenical Services involving Anglican, Methodist and Baptist ministers and congregations including the Roman Catholic community were held for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, Good Friday, Remembrance Sunday. Weekly ‘Lent Lunches’ offering a frugal lunch continue to prove a popular ecumenical event. 

There are strong links between St Mary, Wymeswold and the Wymeswold Methodist Chapel, including regular shared worship, special and social events and work in the local primary school. A shared Palm Sunday Service took place in 2024 with a Palm Procession from the Wymeswold Methodist Chapel to St Mary, Wymeswold. 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Barrow:** 

Total Church funds increased by £334 in 2024 to £56956 at 31st December thanks to a surplus of income to expenditure on the Joint Benefice account of £299 and other small increases from interest payments on our CBF Church of England Deposit funds and also the Restricted funds. These amounts exceeded the deficit on our General Account of £1759 resulting in the small overall surplus of £334. (See page 5 for full details) 

The deficit on the General Account was lower than expected due mainly to record profits from the Christmas Tree Festival of £7990 together with other very successful fundraising activities. Receipts from Trinity Rooms lettings also increased considerably to £16637. 

We managed to increase our Parish Contribution to the Diocese by 10% to £34667 and in fact overall expenditure fell slightly by £1031 to £91065. 

## **Walton:** 

Total funds at 31st December were £112752. This large increase on the yearly total came from the Lexie Clarke bequest of £112408. Apart from £2500 which was kept in the current account to meet normal expenditure the rest of the bequest money is held in the in the CBF Church of England Deposit fund. 

During the year, healthy receipts from donations, church events and church collections contributed to the increase in maintenance and repair costs. 

## **Consolidated Funds:** 

Total funds of the 2 churches increased to £169709 at 31st December. This large increase was mainly due to the bequest to Walton Church from Lexie Clarke. 

For full set of accounts see Appendix One. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

8 



It is the PCC policy to maintain a balance of unrestricted funds ( if possible ) which equates to approximately 3 months unrestricted payments to cover emergency situations that may arise. 

For Holy Trinity, Barrow our reserves are comfortably in excess of that figure. For St Mary, Walton reserves are considerably in excess of that figure. However, major repairs are necessary and these funds are needed to meet the costs. 

## **Fabric Report** 

## **Barrow:** 

This was a quinquennial year for Barrow and the inspection was carried out in October, as well as the full electrical installation inspection which is performed alongside this. Overall, the state of the fabric remains good through regular maintenance.  Roof leaks during wet weather conditions remain a persistent problem, and the need for further inspections and critical repairs to the roofs will be identified during 2025. 

Out heating system continues to perform well and suffered no breakdowns this year. Upgrades were made during the year to improve the provision of WiFi access throughout the buildings, and to move to a digital phone-line along with the associated implementation of a GSM intruder and fire alarm auto dialler.  We continue to suffer from frequently blocked toilets and are looking at measures to reduce the number of expensive callouts associated with this issue. 

A project to install swift nesting boxes to the louvred belfry openings was completed during the spring.  An electronic swift caller is installed on the tower roof, to attract the birds and enable them to locate the nesting boxes.  This process may take a number of years.  Meanwhile, the church proudly achieved a ‘Bronze’ Eco Church award in the autumn. 

New bell ropes were fitted to all eight bells during the summer/autumn and these were blessed by The Reverend David Stoter in December. 

## **Walton:** 

This was a quinquennial year for Walton and the inspection was carried out in October, as well as the full electrical installation inspection which is performed alongside this. Overall, the state of the fabric remains fair through regular maintenance. Roofs are a point of particular concern, including some slipped tiles throughout the year and the need for flashing /ridge mortar repairs identified in the quinquennial report. 

Repairs to the tower base continue to be an outstanding concern which with the new quinquennial report and improved communications with our architect, we hope to progress the specification and approvals for this work during the coming year. 

## **Volunteers** 

9 



The mission, ministry, life and work of Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar and St Mary, Walton le Wolds, is dependent on the generosity of time and energy given by the many volunteers who contribute in a myriad of different ways. We would like to express our grateful thanks to all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the vibrant community it is. 

We held our fourth annual service of thanksgiving for our volunteers in February 2024, when all volunteers across the Barrow and Wolds Group are celebrated for the contribution they make, and thanks are expressed to all involved.

The full PCC met eight times during the year.

These committees which include, the Standing Committee, Finance and Buildings, Trinity Rooms Management, Social and Events (Barrow) and Social and Events (Walton) are all responsible to the PCC their decisions being received by the full PCC and discussed as necessary. 

## **Safeguarding** 

A safeguarding Policy has been signed and adopted by the PCC and is on display in the church. Mrs Sue Disley was appointed Safeguarding Coordinator for the Barrow and Wolds Group in January 2022, (resigning from February 2025) taking over from The Reverend Clive Watts.

## **The Barrow and Wolds Group and United Benefice** 

Following a period of consultation during 2023 and a revision to the Pastoral Scheme, from 1[st] January 2024 the parishes of Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar with St Mary, Walton le Wolds, St Mary, Wymeswold and St Andrew, Prestwold with Hoton were united as a single benefice to be known as “The Benefice of Barrow-upon-Soar with Walton le Wolds, Wymeswold and Prestwold with Hoton.” The benefice continues to be known locally as “The Barrow and Wolds Group.” The Reverend Clive Watts is Rector and The Reverend Fiona Cotton-Betteridge is Associate Priest.

## **Minster Communities and Shaped by God Together** 

The Diocese of Leicester states: “Minster Communities are groups of churches and fresh expressions working collaboratively and sharing resources to enable effective mission. Out of a process of discernment, reflection and conversation, about twenty Minster Communities will be formed by 2026.” 

Our Benefice is fully participating in the Minster Community Formation Process. This means we have worked through Phase 1 of the process during 2024 and the objective of getting to know ourselves and each other. We have done this through the completion and sharing of Storyboards and Conversations Prompts. We have worked through a discernment process that has shaped our potential Minster Community Groupings. In Phase 2 we have been working in those smaller groups of churches, rather than across the wider geographical area of Phase 1. This phase continues to be a process of Christian Discernment during which we aim to understand more about the current realities and begin to think through how things could change as we move into Minster Communities, working together. 

The churches working together in our proposed Minster Community Grouping are: 

11 



- St Leonard, Swithland 

- St Bartholomew, Quorn 

- Holy Trinity, Barrow-upon-Soar 

- St Mary, Walton le Wolds 

- St Andrew, Prestwold with Hoton 

- St Mary, Wymeswold 

- All Saints with Holy Trinity, Loughborough 

- St Andrew, Kegworth 

- St Peter & St Paul, Hathern 

- All Saints, Long Whatton 

- St Michael and All Angels, Diseworth 

- St John the Baptist, Belton 

- St Mary the Virgin, Osgathorpe 

We have continued working together in Phase 2 during 2024 and this work continues into 2025. Working Groups have been focusing on different areas of the mission and ministry of our Minster Community churches. These Working Groups are overseen by a Coordination Group; The Reverend Clive Watts, Mrs Kath Eastwood-Paramore and Mrs Melanie Davis from our benefice are all members of the Coordinating Group and there are representatives from our benefice on each of the Working Groups 

In 2025 at the completion of Phase 2 there will be a vote from all PCCs on whether to commit to the proposed Minster Community based on the proposal which is a culmination of all of the work in Phase 1 and 2. 

More information on Minster Communities and the Shaped by God Together process can be found on the Leicester Diocese website at https://www.leicester.anglican.org/minster-communities
